 Pinnate refers to feather-like or multi-divided features arising from both sides of a common axis. [ link to en.wikipedia.org] :waterblade: :) I've read that if one could build an object that could span across the entire Universe, that it would become the object around which time enwraps itself. The stated 'application' given was to use the object as a maypole, circling around it, until eventually, one will actually come up behind oneself, having traveled backwards in time. I've always thought that a curious concept. Where is the longest 'line', anyways?  Does the maypole bend around to meet itself? How would one come up behind oneself...unless once one reaches the end, the balance shifts the other way, sending said back in the direction they came. I am picturing a 'toy' here I can not quite place. The Transcontinental Railroad? [ link to en.wikipedia.org] Perhaps as one twirls around it, one begins to double over on oneself. Therefore we see ourselves as a 'second' (actually one-half, were the vantage point an effective one) person swinging around the maypole as we start to 'wind backwards'. It's always been a tough one for me to picture, so perhaps I am not conveying it properly. I still have the book, somewhere. By Michio Kaku. On the subject of trains and time.... there are several stories of time-bending trains on this site: [ link to www.scp-wiki.net] If true it would mean the the universe is like a tube and you could slide in time along the 11 dimension.
